V1
The manger was a cradle for the Great I AM
He left His throne in heaven and became our spotless Lamb
That very first Christmas 
Shepherds on the hillside ran to see the King
While the little town of Bethlehem was fast asleep
That Christmas, That very first Christmas


Pre-Chorus:
The glory of the Lord was shining in the night
Angels announced peace in the desert sky 
That Christmas, That very first Christmas


C
Now O what fun it is to sing 
the happy Christmas songs
To celebrate the season 
as the whole world joins along
The joy that filled the stable
Still fills our hearts with love
Like that Christmas 
That very first Christmas


V2
Mary held the baby, Joseph stood in awe
As they worshiped the Messiah in that dusty stall 
That very first Christmas 
(There’s)  never been another gift in history
Like that Christmas gift from Heaven sent to you and me
That Christmas, That very first Christmas 


 Pre-chorus
The wisemen saw the star and followed with great joy
Brought treasures for Messiah, Heaven’s baby boy
That Christmas, That very first Christmas
